NEW ETimorese
Demonstrate Against Impending War in Iraq News & statement
added Feb 17
"The government of the United States (with
support from Great Britain and Australia) is leading the charge for war
against Iraq. These three governments have helped East Timor’s independence
since 1999 but from 1975 until 1999 they supported the brutal Indonesian
military occupation of this country, supplying weapons and training to
the Indonesian army to better enable it to kill and torture the East Timorese
people. There is no moral principle in their current desire to overthrow
Saddam Hussein, which will create massive casualties among Iraqi civilians
and others, when they felt no compulsion to overthrow Suharto, who was
at least as bloody and brutal as Hussein. We believe that the real reason
for this call for war is OIL" Sah'e Inst.
